Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, black plum, all very ripe and cooked, mint, vanilla, forest floor, tobacco. In taste, dry, warm, still good acidity and round tannins. It’s very smooth and balanced. Great wine! — 6 months ago
Solid mid bodied red wine, reminds me of a GSM — 8 months ago
In beautiful shape, better than I remember the last bottle being. Dried red and black fruits, dry dusty tannins, forest floor, dried porcini mushroom and old leather umami nodes, cedar, dried herbs. Did I mention it’s dry? But it’s a beautiful wine, the flavor profile exudes sun baked warmth but the alcohol clocks in at less than 12% so it doesn’t fatigue the palate — 2 years ago

this reminds me of one thing: a sonic cherry limeade. smells like bright strawberries and cherries, tastes like an explosion of tart acidic fizzy cherry-lime with a yeasty aftertaste. im in love (not imported) — 5 years ago

Very balanced- fruit, richness, but not heavy or fruity. — 2 years ago
This wine is an example that price has nothing to do with quality. Lots of fruity sweetness balanced with acidity, and with vanilla and tobacco. — 2 years ago

2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain. — 2 years ago
